With the exception of 1978 and 1984, it's easy to see how the years with cool-neutral or weak La Nina are almost always favored to be active Atlantic hurricane seasons.

cycloneye wrote:Quite a ride thru all the things they look at to determine how is ENSO doing and in this ENSO Blog ,they explain about the three months of ONI. Is a great read.

I have reservations with this months blog. There were about 4 or 5 WWB's near the dateline from fall and into late February. They were all strong and expansive. The effects were reflected on the subsurface and then onto the surface. Which is how 5 seasons ended up above +0.5C. Wouldn't that indicate an El Nino atmosphere? WWB's are a phenomenon and don't occur naturally. The SOI has its uses but they put a lot of weight on it despite how noisy it can be during the winter months.

You think El Niño should have been declared with this May update?

I think the past 5 months should be closely examined and it should be considered. Along with the WWB's I pointed out, NCAR analysis will show a low pressure bias situated over the dateline which is also consistent with El Nino.

at this point probably less of a question of will 3.4 cool enough for the oceanic component of a la nina to be present - and more of will the atmosphere couple?

This recent cooling will likely be enough to push MAM below the El Nino threshold. AMJ/MJJ will likely be neutral. There might be a shot at Nina by JJA if cooling continues.

The present trade burst over the WP is pretty potent and will pile up warm waters near the IPWP and the MC. Simply put, warmer waters means greater likelihood that convection persists in that region and as a result we'll see rising motion reflected. So I think going into July the atmosphere will eventually resemble a La Nina.

That's an impressive stripe of neg anomalies showing in all 4 ENSO quadrants at prime time of the 'cane season. :eek:
NOAA outlook just two days away. Should be interesting.
